Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (15 oz) can creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the Jiffy corn muffin mix to the bowl and gently fold it into the mixture until fully combined.
Step 3: Add Cheese (Optional)
If using shredded cheddar cheese, stir in ½ cup now and reserve the remaining ½ cup for topping.
Step 4: Pour into Baking Dish
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. If using cheese for topping, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup over the top.
Step 5: Bake
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up slightly for easier slicing.
Tips
- Add-ins: For extra flavor, stir in cooked, crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, or chopped green onions.
- Make ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake it fresh the next day, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
